Yes i get it But i still don’t like it ! And yes, The Boys are most definitely back here 🎸🎸🎸 J

As we can now update CbB in the programme itself, i have no need for Bandlab. So i uninstalled it. Otn a collab i prefer OMF files. YMMV. J

The other guitarist in our band and i have the same set up - Bugera 55 Infinium Combis and A Peavey 112 each. in order to hear each other in places where we don’t need to mic the guitars to the pa, we run two lines out from our multi pedals (ME 80 for him and GT 100 for me) one into our Bugera (valve power) and the another line out into the other person’s Peavey. Works great and balances the sound. If going through the pa then we both DI into it. J

I have used AOMEI and it works perfectly. No data loss at all. MBR2GPT will however erase your disk data. J

To be honest no. I think it was due to a micro cut/brown out of the power where i live which forced a cold reboot. (Can’t happen now as i’ve since purchased an APC). It was with Ozone 5 standard and its happened a couple of times. And the fact that the presets are available to download separately indicates to me that the fact they dematerialise is probably a known issue. I re-installed because its quicker ! J

I had this problem once . Solved by reinstalling. However i don’t use iLok. J

I don’t use Bandlab so i uninstalled it in anticipation, last week. Today i opened Cakewalk, and updated. Seamless. Jerry

I used Aomei Partition Assistant to transform mbr disks to gpt. Its painless and you don’t lose data. But its paying. so now all i need is this blasted tmp2 thingy. Fingers crossed MS will back down. I can’t find one for my MB at all (in France). cheers, J

But this is just your pov. No ? W10 is fine here. Has been for the last few years. Never had a USB issue. YMMV, but i bet the majority of people have no issues. Perhaps (dare i say) your system ? Ouch I’ll get my hat .’……… Cheers, J

Yes. This is exactly what i did. It works btw. Either Guitar Pro or Notion works fine. Thanks, J

Thanks ! Yess i know this. I have a fixation about the ||: and :|| symbols …….. sad! I’ve put in a feature request - i think in track view it would be more economic to use such a feature. cheers and thakns to everyone who replied, J

Thanks Mr Jones, but not what i’m asking. I want Cakewalk to be able to repeat a measure over and over again, as many times as specified. Imagine the synths of On the Run, (DSOTM) its the same motive played 99 times. You want to drag that for 99 measures ? I don’t. But no problem, I now know its not currently possible. And i’ve made a feature request. Thanks for your input !! Best, J

Yes i realise that now. Have you ever had an idea you can’t let go of ? Damn you got me, I’m a tree hugger, so yes conservation is all. Plus the fact of having not to do repetitious actions.…. Each to their own ? J

What i would like is the facility to duplicate a measure (1 bar) as many times as i want, as per the ||: and :|| symbols in notation software with the option to specify how many times to repeat. Thanks, Jerry

Thanks both. what i want is to emulate the ||: :|| multiplied by x times. I could duplicate it x times as a clip, but thats not what i want. Jerry

Hello, In the old forum there were posts about how to repeat a measure/bar for x number of times before going on to the rest of the song. (There is nowt in the manual that I could find.) Since the old forum, duplicate clips has been implemented but that's not what I want to do. Imagine you have a bar that you want to repeat 20 times before going on with the rest of the project. In Guitar Pro, for example, you add the the following signs ||: :|| and in the accompanying menu box you specify the number of times to repeat said bar. OK, I understand that's in notation software, perhaps not in a DAW. The project I want to do this in has many tracks (audio and midi) but at the point where I want to insert this one bar (repeated 20 times) no other track is playing. My question is : can I do this in Cakewalk or is it more a feature request ? Cheers, Jerry

I had a Firestudio, it showed the same classification. So does Focusrite now. Once you get used to it its not a work stopping issue at all. I worked that way for many years. that being said, the new features will be welcomed ! J

I don:t know if you've read the recent release notes but you no longer need BA to update Cakewalk. You can do it from the Help menu in Cakewalk. So it is fixed. J

Er no.

Or you could try bouncing the track, see if that works. Personally i don’t use the Export function, never have. Only Bounce. J

If you have W10 pro, just disable the update service. Not too sure about home, i don’t have it

This. However, I always re-install my audio drivers (Focusrite - PC and Soundcraft - laptop) after a major W10 update. I just find its good practice and it hasn't let me down yet. J

I have a Boss Gt100, which has its own ASIO driver. Which is great for Boss Tone Studio, but not for DAW use. To record off the Boss i have a line out to one of the instrument in sockets of my Focusrite 18I20. Its perfect. J

But, its up to the plug in developers to update their offerings. Driver developers also. And often they do, albeit with some delay. But for those that don’t, how long does it take you to reinstall things on a modern PC ? Imagine if we were on Mac’s and were told not to update to an OS by vst creators (which is the case with certain ones at the moment). As a matter of fact and to avoid any possible issues i always re-install my Focusrite drivers every autumn and spring, when the two major W10 updates fall. Its very simple, not an issue as far as i’m concerned. Same for my live rig (laptop) with the Soundcraft drivers. Whilst its very easy to blame Wondows, and yes there are certain issues, there are workarounds as above that are simple and easy to apply. My 2 euro cents YMMV J

And no other DAW has such issues ? I used to really love this forum, but recently......... am i the only one without major issues ? J
